Abstract Marine Streptomyces strains (CLS-28, CLS-39 and CLS-45) were used to colonise Artemia nauplii (Instar I) and 15 d old adult Artemia prior to challenge with Vibrio harveyi and V. proteolyticus. The LC50 of V. harveyi and V. proteolyticus was found to be ∼ 106 CFU ml− 1. V. proteolyticus was more pathogenic than V. harveyi at 106 CFU ml− 1. A significant reduction in mortality (P   0.05). After challenge with V. harveyi at 107 CFU ml− 1, highest survival was found in T1 and T5. Among the Streptomyces treatments, T1 showed significantly higher survival compared to the control, followed by T2 and T3. Thus Streptomyces strains show promise as probiotic agents in mariculture.
